Anyone got a Honda Africa Twin?
if ur bike has easy to change handle bars, i'd look into switching them to something that pulls back a little bit closer to u. i'm thinking about switching the stock bars on my sportster to either buckhorns, or maybe dyna wide glide type.Yes. I ride a Suzuki GSXR 750. With sport bikes, the riding position is designed for greater control with less regard to comfort than a cruiser. After not riding for awhile, it really hits my lower back and hands. There are 2 tricks you can use to help:
1) Lean on the tank with your left arm. This takes most of the stress off, but this mainly only works when you're cruising in a straght line.

2) Grip more with your legs. Sounds weird, but part of the weight you're holding up with your hands and your back can be reduced if you hold onto the bike better by trying to force your knees in as much as possible.

Hope that helps.
I had a similar problem on my Harley. I finally got tired of it and changed from the standard drag bars to a set of mini apes and have not had any problem with it for five years.

Another factor if you are not using drag bars may be that they are set to far forward for you. Simply adjust them back a little more to give yourself a comfortable reach.
Try replacing the stock handlebar risers with ones that are a couple of inches higher that pull the bar towards you an inch or two, as well.
yes but nowhere near the pain that comes from being at my god forsaken job my worst day riding is better than my best day at work .
Anyone know the best place to sell a Harley Davidson motorcycle 1450cc?

where can i find an exhaust....?
Don't drive a bike that has you bent over like a ****-roach. A Man drives a bike sitting up like a human-bean. You'll enjoy the scenery.Harley Davidson 3 wheelers....Anyone know when H-D is coming out with them or?
I infer from your question that you ride a sport bike. The riding position on those is suitable only for the hunchback of Notre Dame, most unnatural, and will definitely cause back problems. Although I appreciate the engineering and performance capabilities of them, I can't ride 'em, it hurts my back too much. On my Harley Electra-Glide, I installed a rider's backrest, and that put me in a much better riding posture, no fatigue, even on 700 mile days.if i take the head off either of my dirtbikes will i always have to replace the head gasket?
I ride an old fzr 600 and it gives my lower back a hard time after about hours riding or less. It isn't bad enough to turn me off riding the bike though. I try to keep my back as straight and upright as possible when cruising along. Sportbikes are not built for comfort. Theres some good advice in the other answers.No. I do have back problems, but surprisingly I've not had any problems on my ZX6R. Neither during nor after. If anything is sore it's my inner thighs!
How do you clean out a rusty petrol tank on a motorcycle?
FYI, I did add Convertibars to bring the handlebars up and closer to me, since I'm built like a gnome.
Question RE: used dirt bike pricing?
I suspect you need different handlebars that will allow you to ride sitting more upright. If you ride a crotch rocket bike, I don't think there is any handlebar adjustment you can make that will make for a comfortable ride. They're designed for performance and speed and not for comfort. I ride a Harley cruiser and it's very comfortable. By the way, I have a slipped disc in my back, so I'm very sensitive to how important a comfortable ride can be. Do something before you develop a chronic condition.More Questions & Answers ...
